INSTRUCTIONS

* Note 1: Available in Middle Eastern markets or in fancy food shops. *
Note 2: See the "Dumplings - {Njoki}" recipe which is included in this
collection.
Soak the cherries in 1/2 cup of warm brandy for 1 hour, reserving the
brandy. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place
the duck pieces in the skillet and brown well to melt off the fat. Remove
the duck and drain off most of the fat and oil, reserving 1/4 cup. Add the
reserved oil to a 6 quart covered ovenproof casserole and saute the onion
and garlic until tender. Add the parsley and celery leaves and saute for a
few more minutes. Add the tomatoes and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Add the
marsala, red wine and seasonings and bring to a boil. Add the duck pieces,
cover and cook in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for 2 hours or until the
duck meat falls from the bones. Remove the casserole from the oven and
place it on the stovetop to cook enough to remove all the bones from the
duck quarters. Be careful about the little bones! Return the meat to the
pot and add the cherries, along with the brandy. Simmer, uncovered, until
the sauce reduces and thickens, about 15 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.
Serve over njoki, pasta or rice.
Comments: This is really much more of a very heavy gravy than it is a
normal duck dish. I find it delightful and it is just as good on pasta and
rice as it is on the njoki for which it is intended.
